Going to hit the search pages on the HDMI but other than the cable me like very much...

Now I just have to decide on a BR player or PS3...or XBOX

Well didn't take long to find all the "special 120Hz cable needs" is rubbish threads...so I guess that is not the issue. Note I do have an overpriced "high end" HDMI cable now because I was too impatient to order one and wait, so on the plus side it is not a cheapo or anything... AR PRO II I think.

Note I should say it is intermittent...ie sometimes it works fine, sometimes I have to unplug and plug...

Got my 67 set up and calibrated using DVE BD. Absolutely perfect geometry within 1/16 inch AFTER moving it around on its end, lol. Beautiful, rich, vivid color...couldn't be happier.

I set the Anynet+ function to On with auto turn off of connected components
but it doen't seem to work. My sammy remote will control the Panny bd35 pause-advance-play features, but won't turn on/off???
Here is the setup:
The Panny BD35 and Comcast HD box are connected via HDMI to my Yamaha RX-663. 663 HDMI out to my Sammy 67. no other connections-all HDMI

Why will the sammy remote(CEC) work the Panny, but on/off, etc. won't? I thought all CEC components over HDMI should work together?

Advice please, thx!

Anynet+ is Samsung's implementation of the allowed HDMI-CEC function in the HDMI spec. It only works for other (Samsung) Anynet+ devices.

Each manufacturer, if they produce multiple components (like Sony, Samsung, etc.) have their own proprietary implementation of HDMI-CEC and they do not interoperate. Sony calls their's Bravia Sync.

Well, my near perfect 67A750 is starting to have a flaw. For some reason, the fan noise of the TV has increased from inaudible to a slighly annoying air movement sound accompanied by a slight hum. Do these TVs have temperature sensors in them that caused the fan to crank up if the room is warmer?

STUPID QUESTION - - - do you mean that this green color anomoly cannot be corrected using ALL of the various "setup" menus that are built into the set? I have read SLUGS of RAVE reviews of the Color Quality - especially after in home Setup and this is the first I have seen about a "freen push" problem.

I don't know if Samsung ever officially acknowledged the problem. There are alot of weird problems that some people have with this set, and others don't have any of them.

I read somewhere that many of the issues have to do with the manufacturing of the tvs in mexico and lax quality control.

I just ordered mine from Crutchfield. They have lowered their price to $1999 AND they are including a free $400 Bell'o AVS-2762 stand. The stand looks very nice and I verified the price range as $378-550. BTW, the free stand offer is qualified as "while quantities last." Off course the price includes 'white glove delivery' and if you use the Sony Financial funding option you get 18 months interest free. I couldn't wait any longer! I've been lurking here for a long time. Thanks for all the info.

I have to make a decision today. (most likely) I think I am decided on one of the 2 Sammy LED sets (should I be looking at something else in this price range?) I CANNOT decide whether to get the 67 or 61. I have a 51 now and my room is not overly large. Is the 67 going to be too big??? Anyone have any pics of theirs?

Finally, after waiting for my 6 year old Mitsubishi WS-65869 to sell on Craigslist, I just ordered the 67" from Crutchfield. Free shipping and a free stand. I don't need the stand, and plan to sell it off with an Amazon listing (unless someone here needs it cheap). I should clear enough from the stand's sale to have the TV for approx. $1800 w/ no tax or shipping costs.

I've followed this thread for months, but the hold up was finding a new home for the Mitsubishi beast. This Samsung will be at least 10 inches thinner.

I plan to re-read the thread and start tweaking my set when it arrives within a week...

I'm anxious to see how the USB works with regard to using it to play back my "Coca-Cola Screenplay" jpeg slides and whatever MP3 audio files I want in the background.

This thread doesn't serve any purpose, even the OP acknowledged that. It should have been merged into the A750 FAQ/Owners thread a long time ago instead of splitting up important info. Mike_pro did a lot of hard work on that thread and this thread only diminishes it.

Can you imagine having a separate thread for every screen size of every model of TV? Makes a lotta sense doesn't it.

Is anyone else having issues with picture settings resetting to default after 30 minutes?

Was thinking about re-flashing firmware, but my set has v1006.1 (2008/04/31) and website shows latest as v1005.3 (2008-04-17). Anyone know why there is this discrepancy? I don't want to lose the latest flash in case it was not causing my issue.

Get your TV out of Shop Mode, see the Plug&Play menu to do it. This is in the A750 FAQ and your manual.

Since I am considering the purchase of the HL 67A750ONLY I like the fact I can see only comments about it and not the smaller HL61A750 at present. When they both are replaced with another model number in 2009that is the time to merge these threads.

I like the stand because I have a large center channel and fits perfecting in the designed area for it.

I attached a shot of mine. I am totally redoing my living area with new furniture and a wall unit and my apologies for the picture quality on mine. Camera is acting up.

I can tell you this is a spectacular TV. There is NOTHING in my opinion for the money comes close. As for the people suggesting to merge the topics, if someone would rename the other topic and say "61 AND 67inch LED" then maybe people would pay attention. I know it says it in the opening part of the thread but not in the title. Not all of us frequent this forum all the time and when I saw the other thread I thought looking in that one until I saw this one. Most people are going to look for their size and model. How is everyone to know there is no difference? Not everyone is a TV expert. Just my 2 cents on that.

I will check out the other thread since it has been stated there is some good information there though.

Actually gutting the entire room and getting brand new wall unit and replacing and moving everything to it's rightful place. Your right about the air though. I just seem to never play anything but NCAA on the PS3 and Blue Rays.

Need to get it set up and take a another picture like a before and after.

I think the price changed sometime this morning, as I was on the fence and freaked when it changed. I called them up, and they said they would honor the 'old' price ($1999 + free stand) if I could buy right then, which I did. You should call them and I'd bet they'd do the same....

sale price $2099-10%off coupon(PKACD5EARN) = $1889+ tax u must order online and pick up at store

What 10% coupon did you use? Can you please share? I bit at $2099 with 10% off a couple weeks ago, and if I can save another $90 + tax by going back and having them price match their new price, you will be my HERO!!! (that would more than cover the cost of the Harmony 620 I got at Costco for $79.99 yesterday!!!)

Thanks in advance for any help, and thanks to everyone for helping me decide on this TV. I've been lurking on this thread and the 61" thread for months, and finally pulled the trigger a couple weeks ago. i registered today and seeing this makes me think it was worth the entire day at work I've wasted researching stuff!

Hello,
I just got my Samsung 67A750 yesterday. I upgraded it from my Samsung 6187s. It's much brighter and looks amazing...almost I guess. I noticed something yesterday that was a bit disturbing. I'll try to explain it the best way possible. Everything looks great except when I put in an HD DVD or BLU Ray DVE calibration disc to check out the color, alignment and other things I noticed that during the Grid line test (not really sure what it's called) the lines were straight but seemed to move about 1 inch higher on the bottom right side which also effected the top right side. Almost seems like an alignment problem. I tried to put it in Just Scan mode but looked a bit better in 16:9 mode, but the problem was still there. I also notice this issue when I bring up my Guide for Satellite.
Can anyone tell me on what's happening? Is this a simple service call fix from Samsung or do I return the DLP?
Thanks! The more replies the better.

Sandman - do a google search on Circuit City 10% off and you'll find the link for it. I had bought the Samsung DLP from CC during Columbus Day sale - $2099 minus 10% was $1889.

Today i did the search and found the 10% off link and used it at CC online and the TV was $1999 minus 10% = $1799. So I took the screen shot of this with me to the CC store and manager refunded me my $90...good luck!

Same strategy I used yesterday as well. I found an affiliate site that would apply the discount of 10% against the new price, and then went in to the store with the screenshot half expecting a battle. I got no resistance at all, they just asked if I could pull up the site on their computer (no problem), and they gave me back $97 (90 + tax). I was happy about the $1889 price, this is like XMAS!

Thanks to all, I'm very much enjoying the new set!

Still on the search for a new stand though, trying to decide if I want to build or buy. None of the 60" stands will hold my 20" wide Polk center channel.

I went ahead and built a stand. Home depot has some nice wide pieces of wood that you can stain or paint. I built a 60 " long x 18" wide x 24" high stand. Came out very nice. I painted it. Saved a ton of money and much more useful than the $300 stands I had looked at...
